Sun hires Ted Leung, Frank Wierzbicki for Python/Jython representation.

March 3rd, 2008 § 0 comments

This is great news for all of the par­ties involved — Frank Wierzbicki got hired on full-time at sun for Jython devel­op­ment, and Ted Leung for Python “advocacy”/dynamic lan­guage at Sun.

This is great — Python/Jython gets more expo­sure, and Sun con­tin­ues to ramp up it’s dynamic language(s) work inside the JVM, which is their answer to the Microsoft’s CLR and two guys get jobs doing what they love!

Sun’s Burling­ton cam­pus is just north of me — it’s nice digs (I mainly remem­ber the lunch­room). Maybe they’ll start hav­ing python pow-wows there.

Con­grats guys!

What's this?
